socket connection to the experix_head program. A file transfer protocol
is included in this. Remote operation of experix on a Raspberry Pi, with
remote display of webcam shots, has been demonstrated.

  It touches on most of what experix does. You don't need an
  experix installation or any special equipment, but if you
  have that, you can perform the code examples.
  (But it's somewhat dated now)
